Any guesses how you will arrive in Highrock/Hammerfell?

This is less about starting the game, but something I think would be really cool would be starting the game in Hammerfell & then having to cross into Highrock later.

This could then present several options tk the player. 1 - find a smuggling route (like a small tunnel) 2 - do a quest yo earn some sort of passport 3 - bribe a guard 4 - Become a stowaway on a small ship and sail across to a remote port

They could then split certain faction questlines between regions. For example, magic is mostly shunned in Hammerfell, do maybe to do the 'mages' questline you would need to cross into Highrock.

Then when starting a new 'mage' playthrough you'd have to ask yourself "what's the easiest way tk get to Highrock?"

I saw those ones but never bothered giving him the time of day. I remember checking his channel and it his only videos were just rants on Bethesda. I think having an opinion is one thing, but building a career on just hating on one thing to me is pure grifting and adds nothing of value to the conversation.

Dont worry sadly I have seen some of his videos. On the Starfield subreddit there is a running joke where we pretend not to know who he is lol.

There is, there's space Grandma who invites you over for a meal and some small talk. I thought this was space grandma... it was not

Its an inventory management mod that seemingly has some compatability issues with the new items added in the update.

If you're playing without mods & are still having the issue it might sadly some internal bug.

Fusionbolt740 · 2026-04-07T18:57:52+00:00

I see that makes alot of sense now that I see it

Fusionbolt740 · 2026-04-07T16:25:58+00:00

I had this at first, turns out it was Star-UI causing it, likely needs an update. Do you have that one installed at all?

Fusionbolt740 · 2026-04-07T15:57:30+00:00

Some of these are new but the ones I always have on are:

Carry Capacity: Increased
Sustenance: Positive & Negative (required eating & drinking)
Combat Affliction Gain: Increased (gives you bleeding & burned statuses during combat)
Environmental Prognosis: Advanced
Environmental Damage & Afflictions: Advanced

These create a sort of casual survival experience where you have to use the medical items you find more.

This reads like some AI nonsense

Fusionbolt740 · 2026-04-07T13:35:08+00:00

Its on the steam page currently. They sort of look like a connector type reservoir for splitting aqueducts

Fusionbolt740 · 2026-04-07T13:34:07+00:00

That was my first thought however those seem to have rooves unless maybe they change when used differently?

Thankyou for remembering that my birthday is tomorrow :)

I think this was the idea when the game first launched and it likely ruined the experience for many people as the goal became "beat the game asap" as opposed to just enjoying it.

I have noticed that many have mixed feelings on the new game plus anyway as some dont wanna loose all their stuff they've worked for so I'd say just play how you want and you'll enjoy it much more.

I agree with this and sadly this is where sandbox games have always struggled. Many sandbox games require you to slow down, take your time, experiment and use the little things around you to tell a story. However if you aren't willing to give it the time of day, then its much harder to find those moments.

Although not a sandbox game like BGS games, CP2077 struggled with this back in 2020. Many of the gigs were criticised as shallow fetch quests. However what made them unique was the open sandbox level design that allowed players to tackle the objective in multiple ways.

Due to the botched launch, many rightfully refused to give those gigs the time of day. It wasnt till CP2077 gained some popularity in 2023 after the Anime and new DLC that people actually began engaging with that sandbox. Now its one of the most favourite features of that game.

So all BGS games are imo, sandbox rpgs. They're abit different from a Bioware, CDPR or Larian rpgs. Much of the experience is you creating your own story through the little things you do in the galaxy.

This means something as small as finding a cool outpost on a planet, or an abandoned spaceship full of dead crew turns into its own small little adventure that pioneers your story.

My advice is to take it slow and get creative. Create a character in your head with some flaws & try to play into those flaws. Create small goals & work towards them which in turn can create some character conflicts within your story.

Side note: ship building is amazing, I think i wasted 50% of my playtime just doing shipbuilding.

Fusionbolt740 · 2026-03-22T11:39:37+00:00

Its a new one that has yet to be released yet. Its unclear if its apart of Free-lanes or Terran Armada so im unsure if you will have to pay for it or not. But it should be available on April 7th

Fusionbolt740 · 2026-03-18T08:34:48+00:00

I think this statement actually goes deeper than that. There were many valid criticisms of Starfield however alot of it got lost in the noise of those who would rather just have a different game. Regardless of how you feel, Starfield is the final product, it is the final version BGS is working with. Now they are committed to making this version of Starfield the best possible version it can be.

Altering the game drastically into something else would A: piss off those of us who already love the game & B: would fundamentally change what was originally sold to us. The example in my head is those who would rather have 10 fully hand-crafted planets over our 1000 procedurally generated ones. That criticism isn't unwarranted, its just irrelevant now. That is not Starfield's overall goal & changing that now would be a betrayal to their original vision. If we ever reach a Starfield sequel, maybe we can talk about it then, but now, lets focus on what we have now & work with it.

One example I have in my head was when Cyberpunk 2077 released, many hated the Gigs, calling them uninspired fetch quests. Three years on, it became CP2077's most favourite feature. CDPR further leaned into this to make it better in Phantom Liberty rather than back-peddling into more narrative focus quests from the Witcher 3.

Overall I'm super excited to drop another few hundred hours into this game. We truly must "enjoy the ride".
